I think it's very hard to come up with something to represent London that lasts only 8 minutes and is recognisable around the world. Having Beckham make an appearance was a good idea, as although we all see him as a fading football star, the Chinese absolutely adore him and he's known around the world. The whole thing may have been very Dick Van Dyke, but at least it had global appeal.
I had to laugh at Arthur Smith on Radio 4 this morning when he said that he admired the realism of the whole performance. The London bus travelled very slowly and didn't appear to allow anyone to get on!!
